Front 242 - Rhythm of Time

[dunstanofgreen]

haha up the ra

[warlock242]

It's good innit!?!

[ChrissyboyH44]

EBM is a subgenre of industrial music - fact!!

[MrAntipattern]

"Tyranny for You", "Geography" and "Politics of Pressure" are my favorite Front242 records

[tobeyanteus]

Industrial music started in the late eighteen hundreds when factory workers would make rhythms by hitting their tools against large machine parts pipes pressure release valves ect while shouting over the noise .

[redwraith122]

@tobeyanteus Cool Story Bro.

[icjd80]

i totally want one of those death spheres!

[thesermon31]

danke

[icjd80]

cant we all just agree this stuff is the SHIZZNIT!!!!!

[TheAxebeard]

@R0CKET2MARS Front 242 coined the term "EBM" from what I understand. I doubt they were the first, but they named it. Pantera coined "Power Metal", Venom coined "Black Metal" etc etc.

[ToHaveAndToHold]

@ N4Y7H1RU5: well if you like Front 242 that should be enough - don´t you think so? ;-) And something it´s quite alright just to forget about "other people" :-)

[HbGoth]

It`s just pure EBM. So what`s the matter? 

[smokestrobehoovers]

FRONT 242!!!!

[moragization]

ebm shmee.bm shut up fools

[klaskatt]

Front 242 didnt create EBM really, Were lots of bands before like D.A.F., Cabaret Voltaire, Pankow etc etc....

[aikighost]

Love this band but I still believe that Geography was the best thing they ever did. Recorded in a garage on a tape 4 track.

F242 forever!! their sound is and will remain outstanding! with every album they were ahead of time - and of skills with respect to electronic music

[HoboVodka]

OP you are the worst salesperson who ever lived. I mean jesus.

[ChristianKross87]

Front 242 is most definatly a group that deserves respect. even though most their music i really don't care for. but they started EBM gotta give em props.

[fofibotas]

Estupendo

[878commando]

C'mon people, we love it.

[elementindustrial]

2011 need more vintage EBM sound. I miss the true sound of EBM.

[slowmutants]

Don't forget Suicide, who called themselves punk, but were a catalyst for a lot of electronic based music. Check out Ghostrider, their first song off first album.

[pedrofaba]

they have some cool songs,but some others are crap

[Soulmanager11]

The term Industrial music was coin in the 70's after the avant garde group TG singer Genesis P. Orridge founded Industrial Records. It was Front 242 who call their music EBM (Electronic Body Music). Also their is a lot of subgenres in the electronic music world so there is no point to argue. Remember Hawkind, Can, Faust, DAF, and so on.

[junkyturd]

What mix is this? it sounds different from the album

[dark1ankh]

@junkyturd This is the single mix.

[Bangheadda]

Classic EBM Shit!

[878commando]

Stop arguing, listen to 242, Doors, Voivod, Floyd..........

[AnacondaVanaspati]

You guys are failing to mention Can before TG and CV. And 242, as much as I love them, were not the only band in town at the time. Look up the old catalogue for Play it again Sam and you'll find a starting point for a number of their contemporaries. Being the most popular doesn't make you the only.

[solitare64]

These guys were telephone engineers before starting out on a musical path,,they know what they are doing,,best synth work since krafty werk

[K0P0Bbl]

still waiting for a cyberpunk revolution...

[Sails470]

Great! Very well!

[losbrons]

front 242 and calva y nada : the masters of EBM

[ger0mm]

front two for two yeeeaahhhhhhh

[klingazteka]

come on Sixty three Who's mister X? Get up We live in a fairy tale We swim along with the whales We dream of evergreen trees Wake up in heart-rending cries Good morning What's above Desire, survival An almighty God Like a hanging sword New planets to conquer

[acidchild]

Potheadfarmer, you need to lay off the pot. You're the one who sounds like the kid here. I've been into and listening to this shit since 1989. So yeah, i know a few things of it's origin. A little internet searching will show what i say to be true. Who is arguing that someone else started Front 242? You're way too stoned to be posting on mom's computer. Go chill for a bit. But i'd lay off the weed.

And by the way, i'm not bashing 242, they're one of my fave bands.

[blackrustedvan]

The only good thing to come out of Belgium, trust me...I drive through it each week and wonder sometimes....

[JorgelShmorgel]

@blackrustedvan

Haha, yeah. Germany has so much more to offer! I look at the history of the world and wonder sometimes...

[nickboston88]

@blackrustedvan What about Chips/French Fries, and Waffles?

[Pr3daking1]

Kraft Werk is the father of anything electronic .... They are the creator of the drum machine and so much more.... and don't forget bands like Skinny Puppy, Killing Joke,Ministry and Die Krupps who also played a role in the different textures of industrial....

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

Well yeah of course, 2t2xyz. The Screamers came before front 242. Back in 77'. And were from LOS ANGELES.

[kharim88]

who cares what it's called? i call it techno/industial. so what? it's awesome! that's what really matters :P

P.S. i thought EBM ment Electronic Beat music?

[vincefero]

It's Electronic Body Music. Maybe a style, but it comes from P.Codenys, one of this band. Go Belgium!

[acidchild]

Front 242 created Industrial? Hardly. They started what they referred to as EBM (Electronic Body Music). Industrial isn't rooted off of Techno nor Punk. Industrial started in the England in the 70s with Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. Techno started in Detroit in the 80s. It didn't start with Kraftwerk. They didn't use the term "Technopop" until the 80s, after Techno had come to fruition. I'm reading a bunch of nonsense here!

[potheadfarmer]

@acidchild OH WELL ACTUALLY, shut the f*#k up like you even know the close wearabouts this shit even came from, for all anybody knows this bloody shit started before you were a gleam in your daddies eye. The important thing everyone here needs to focus on is the real facts and that is Front 242 started Front 242, yeah know shit its true.

[jibshanks]

@acidchild

what is this i don't even

[gombie]

@acidchild

Electronic Body music was coined by kraftwerk (in man machine) and front 242 didn't alone create the genre known as ebm... Before Front 242, DAF called their proto-ebm music as ''körpa musik'', wich means body music.

Front 242,Nitzer ebb, a split-second, die krupps.. Those are the bands that defined what's EBM.

Industrial is rooted to punk, not musicaly but inspired by the attitude (read the tg book) and Nitzer Ebb inspired detroit's techno artists.

[Khyrid]

@acidchild I never once in my life gave a crap what anything I listen to is classified as.

[mrdisco]

Incredible; easily one of their best singles.

[therealsteamingpile]

They are credited with creating Industrial, just a more ominous for of techno and a little more appealing to those that didnt care for the poppy sound of techno at the time.

[MagnitudePerson]

This song IS WAY TOO NUDERRATED AND HATED BY THOSE FUCKING RETARD HATERS!

EBM FTW!!!

Front 242 FTW!!! A WinWin song!!!

[deadtroll242]

This was the first band I saw in concert.... and I lost 15% of my hearing during their show,,,, and I loved every second of it.

[hatemixer]

this is the shit

[filtermadg]

lol at the "electro rat" at the end

[MagnitudePerson]

Electronic music isn't a genre its something before that which another name, but your retarded becuase if i slam on industiral metla dsnt mean i make metal piipe music off beatys, RETARD.

[HBD47]

not bad, thanks!

[roclan]

EBM is a sort of techno-punk-metal

[IchbinSchalker]

Who says EBM is techno knows nothing about the life. Go back to the first grade bacause you have a lot to learn yet.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

it's rooted off of techno and punk

[bluedodgy]

EBM is not Techno. That would be like saying that Heavy metal and Punk are the same. Bands like 808 State fell under the techno catagory

[MagnitudePerson]

Actually lyrics is the only thing now, not music.

And EBM ISNT TECHNO, retarded gayfags.

[torvherk]

This is EBM not Techno! Loved this group in the 80:s early 90:s! At that time music was for real and the lyrics where the main thing.

[gothic1hobbit]

This isn't techno dude.

[Mindbender05]

Eighties EBM is absolutely what you could also call Techno. As a matter of fact, techno is not just Love Parades' "unf unf unf" kinda noise but much more white-spreaded with lots of different branchres.

So like james2012maya said: early eighties techno!

[paulojunqueira]

Shut up man. Front 242 created EBM, and earlier kraftwerk created "machine music". These two styles are the whole basics for all you think y know about eletronic music. Techno is a modern variant of a BPM'nd version of... so, get to the basics. Start from the real beginning. Bow to the masters.

[Mindbender05]

Not quite right again. The day i got "Geography" on vinyl most of the reviews and critics already referred to Front242 as "techno" or "electronic music". Until, yes until the techno as you know it got popular and most of the people referred to Front242 as EBM to differentiate. I don't know how old you where in the early 80s but thats just how it is ;)

[Mindbender05]

To clarify, Front242's music and their EBM was _also_ called techno and electronic music..

[MagnitudePerson]

Your an retard/idiot.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

correct

[vprmn]

techno has been created in detroit by group of juan atkins etc.. middle 80s man!!

front242 is true EBM.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

wrong, techno was created by white europeans called kraftwerk, human league and and depeche mode, etc.

the first instrumental techno song came out in 73'. it was called kometen melodie 2, and the song kristalo.

all by kraftwerk.

[ElektraSaintClaire]

Did you forget about Wendy Carlos and the soundtrack of "A clockwork orange"? That's the first synth song. And I don't think Depeche Mode in the early 80's was making techno. That was Synthpop as far as I believe.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

Kraftwerk had an ep called techno-pop in like 75'. And kraftwerk released synth music in late 1970, a full year and a half before clockwork orange(he was called walter carlos back then ).

Anyway stockhausen was doing it before then.

case closed

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

kraftwerk invented techno. it was called technopop. it's on their record.

[odenskrigare]

@paulojunqueira

Kraftwerk came up with the *term* EBM

But it referred to something else, namely a device that would produce music according to body movements

Front 242 created the *genre* of EBM proper

[potheadfarmer]

@paulojunqueira / yeah that goes for you too, mister fricken knowitall

[DjHardJ]

@paulojunqueira Agreed! I owe everything I do to Kraftwerk and Front 242.

[thalliadruid]

@paulojunqueira F242 Rocks. if you don't see that, go play somewhere else.

[MagnitudePerson]

Stop rate fucking averytihng, you fuckingl ieng pricky bitch. FUCK OFF.

4 months away was gay aswell.

[james2012maya]

[peace0ff]

[kikaijin]

I remember that. I post the same coment on another Rhythm of Time video post.

[AliasUndercover]

If you haven't heard of these guys then you just haven't done E.

[peace0ff]

they aren't about drugs, retard.

[inflxshn]

I've been following them since the first, and never did 'E,'

you should outdo yourself and cite an even more ignorant corollary next time.

[AustinKronix]

yeah....E is kinda gay...and not at all what this is about...but whatever...i do like drugs...

[cenkgursel]

If you liked this video and hardcore experimental

electronic fan you would like "TRIP TO UNKNOWN"

by sibervizyon.

[goodmaninbadtime]

Re: Sibervizyon

I checked it out. Hmm - it's quite possibly the first music I've heard that's actually reminiscent of 242's 'Geography'. Interesting . . .

[flancito242]

THEY ARE THE BEST, I LOVE THEM ..

[kemonito1]

Yes! they are the best, their sound is never old. 200 years from now they will still sound futuristic and cool. Belgium Rocks!

[fronthunter]

Grz
